Loved Jumbo rocks campground. We rented a sprinter van which was nice to have water for washing. The campsites are all blocked so you can’t drive your vehicle up to your picnic table- it will stay parked on the street by the site. We picked 078 and the location was great. 077 is a bit close and there are often random people walking through the campsite because there are trails everywhere but not any official trails from that site. Overall was beautiful and unique scenery. I appreciate that it’s $180 fine if you try to snag someone’s site do that helped people be respectful. Bathrooms are put and kept clean daily. Would recommend.

This campsite is beautiful with great access to hiking, exploring and climbing big rocks. The bathroom was close by, and we had a lot of space at our site. Unfortunately our neighbors were playing loud music late into the night (past 2am)

This site was beautiful and private. What a great way to experience Joshua Tree National park. It was the perfect place to set up our tent and relax. We really enjoyed the astronomy talk at the amphitheatre in the evening. It was beautiful star gazing with minimal light pollution. The sunset and sunrise here was beautiful. We had easy access to skull rock nature trail which was really neat as well and then we followed the trail back from skull rock right to the campground.

We loved staying here. The campground is nice, secluded feeling, and accessible. We came out to see the stars and enjoy some open space after losing a family member. Unfortunately, and this isn’t the fault of the campground, we had a group of very oblivious and disruptive people next to us that arrived at their campsite at 10 and played loud music and were shouting until we confronted them at 2am. They apologized, but it was really not fun. Maybe this means a camp host should be making rounds in the evening to ensure people are abiding by quiet hours. That level of disruption made it impossible to sleep and brought the trip down a lot. This isn’t something that happens all the time and the only thing the campground can do is encourage courtesy and etiquette, and like I said maybe establish a few quiet hours walk arounds. Joshua tree and this campground are awesome, and it seems more awareness is needed in the discussion to all who recreate about the respect for others enjoying the park.

Absolutely beautiful park. Campsite among the jumbo rocks was amazing. Lots of hiking trails accessible from the campground and more sites to see a short trip up the road. Definitely coming back.

Stayed in spot 117 and it was awesome! It’s a tight squeeze though. Anything larger than my 2 person tent wouldn’t fit.
